Sirius arrived at Grimmauld House, it was dark dank & miserable as he knew it would be. Harry had suggested that he go live with him and Ginny once they return from their honeymoon at Godric's Hollow, however he didn't want to be in the way, the same reason why he always declined the Room at Delphi (Lupins House). Sirius sat on the worn sofa. 'I just don't seem to belong anywhere, I seem to always end up back here in this dump' he whinned to himself. He hated being there alone. He couldn't stay there, he needed to be some where nice, somewhere cosy. He couldn't return to Delphi, so his options where to try and get into Godric's Hollow, where he would still be alone or the Burrow where surely one of the Weasley's would still be up. He disapperated to the Burrow.
Sirius entered the house to find Ron sleeping on the sofa. 'Damn' thought Sirius. He eyed Ron as he lay there snoring he had a huge love bite on his neck. The work of Hermione he thought to himself. He didn't know why but he had the sudden urge to kick Ron. He looked at Molly's clock, Ginny's hand was pointed at 'Paradise' and he couldn't help but smile, he was so Happy and Proud of Harry.
Time to go. He disapperated on the spot.
Tonks lay in bed staring at Remus who lay beside her. She always woke before him but always tried to remain in bed with Lupin as long as he could. His 'wolfishness' was one of the things she loved most about him. When she was a child she had a gorgeous Siberian Husky that her father had brought home for her one day. She had named him 'Wolfie' and the two where inseperable. Wolfie would sleep on her bed at night and if she moved slightly Wolfie would wake instantly almost like he was checking on her. Remus was the same. She smiled. She would never have thought she could be this happy. Her thoughts suddenly turned to Sirius. She had woken in the middle of the nite to a loud pop, meaning that someone had apperated downstairs, Remus woke to and went down stairs to investigate. It had turned out to be Sirius, who sought refuge on their sofa. She really felt for him. He never seemed comfortable. When he was in company he seemed distant like he wished to be alone and when he was alone he couldn't stand it. She had asked him so many times to move in with them, but still he refused. She would try and get Remus to talk to him. Everyone was trying to get on with their lives, herself and Remus, Harry and Ginny, Hermione and Ron… well actually now she thought about it that wasn't quite true… she had witnessed Ron dancing with a young blonde at the wedding, well dancing wasn't quite the word. They were all over each other, Tonks had looked round for Hermione and found her walking out of the hall. By the time she had caught up Hermione had disapperated.
Remus stirred beside her.
'Hey you.' Yawned Remus rolling over so he was leaning on his elbow over her.
'Hey yourself' she smiled in reply putting her arms around his neck and pulling him down on top of her. She kissed him and he returned her kisses gently. He rolled off of her and she lay her head on his chest. She run her fingers down the three scars on his chest. They had almost taken him from her. He had fault Fenrir Greyback in the last stages of the war. He had slashed at Remus, cutting him from his left shoulder all the way down to his stomach. Sirius had jumped in and sent the green flash of the Avada Kadavra curse at Greyback catching him in his chest. Sirius turned to Remus, he had to knit his wounds before he bled to death and he did so, Remus recovered well but would always bear these deep scars.
'Is Sirius OK?' she asked gently running her fingers through the fine hair on his stomach.
'um… yeah I think so' he replied immensely enjoying her hands on him.
'will you talk to him again, she if he will come live here with us.'
'I'll ask again, Tonks but to be honest I think he prefers his own space, its just that house he can't bare to be alone in.'
'can't he get some where else to live then?'
'well yeah he could, I just think that he thought once it was all over Harry would be living with him and they would be living the fun life he and James lived before he married Lily.'
'but Harry's with Ginny now.'
'Yeah I know, that's what I mean, I know Harry offered him a home with him and Gin, but I think he thought it would be just boys having fun, besides he would hate to be in their way.'
'yeah, I know. Try and talk to him though.'
'yeah I will.'
Tonks left the bed and walked into their en-suite bathroom and closed the door behind her. Remus admired her slim curvy body as she left the room. He would never get enough of her.
'Hey Padfoot' Remus said.
Sirius yawned
'Sorry I woke you last night.'
'Not a problem.'
'Why don't you have the spare room like Tonks said last night.'
'I don't want to be in the way… besides I've got a perfectly good house to go home to anyway.'
'except you hate it. Have you ever thought of getting somewhere else to live?'
'well, yeah but I just kind of think.. you know, I'm not gonna be happy where ever I am, so whats the point.'
'That's rubbish Padfoot, you of all people deserve to be happy, and if an ugly werewolf like me can find happiness why cant you?'
'less of the ugly, Remus.' Said Tonks entering the room.
'morning Sirius' she quickly added.
'Hi' he replied.
'Why don't you think about getting somewhere else to live and maybe getting a job, then you might feel a bit better having your time occupied.'
'yeah I'll think about it.' He sighed.
'we're having dinner at Molly's tonight if you want to join us, I'm sure she won't mind' said Remus
'Thanks Moony, that would be nice.'
